French general Stehlin dies after bus strike linked to Northrop payoff
Gen. Paul M. Stehlin, 67, a former French parliament member, died after a bus struck him days after Northrop admitted paying him to praise its aircraft over the Mirage F1. He had surgery June 6 and had become central to controversy over the Belgium Denmark Norway air deal and U S aircraft superiority claims. Stehlin had resigned from parliament amid accusations of selling France’s aircraft industry and had worked for Hughes Aircraft in 1965 before returning to politics.
